Just giving you scripture. Take it or leave it. :)
Ok...I will leave it, because what God states in the first chapter contradicts any view that Job's test was because of sin.....thanks anyway.....

I'm sorry You must have too much blood in your caffeine stream. You realize that everybody that Jesus healed, died? I did not use sarcasm. That was a direct reference to the way church people worship their pastors. And believe every word he says without checking the Word. If you find me arrogant. OK.
If Christians did use common sense they would go to the Holy Spirit for teaching. and stop going by intellect.
Dude, Your really not helping your case, Your sarcasm is not christlike, and is irritating, and will not get anyone to see things your way, instead will push them away. People do not like the arrogance.

Yes Everyone jesus healed died, He healed them for a purpose. That purpose has been fulfilled.

And it also proves he did not heal them completely, or they would not have died.. So your logic is flawed..

did you actually read the op?

the woman is doing anything BUT venting

she is NOT saying God lies

take a good look at this from her op:



I get the impression she does indeed read the Bible, but sorry, you did not read her post very well it seems

[/FONT][/COLOR]
no I read it,yet she has not given a reason for why she gave the title of "does God lie" which makes no sense or are you suggesting somehow that this thread title does make sense concerning her???

let's go slow here fizz

she is asking a question that many people ask and she is saying NO God does not lie

did you read the part I quoted?

does that sound like someone who is blaming God in some way?

I don't think so

What is WRONG with some of you people!!

Probably should just not post because I'm angry.

This woman tells the story of her daughter who has faith and believes God, and your white-washed grave response is that she didn't have enough faith?!!

Just how cruel are you?[/QUOTE
All I know is that this little girl has shown something that is very lacking in the church, regardless if the healing was done or not she showed such a beautiful show of child like faith she never questioned if it was her will vs God's or if she had enough faith or if the answer was yes or no she believed in god asked and then went for it this is why this little girl is so amazing to me.

there is something in this story that we are not seeing, this isn't even about an argument of healing it's about the kind of faith this little one showed. This is the kind of genuine child like faith that Jesus spoke of when he said we must become like little children. This little girl without even meaning to or knowing it shines a lesson that many of us need to listen to, pay attention to the kind of faith this little one showed not the debate of healing. Sometimes it takes a babe for the grown and the wise and mature to truly learn

I agree...This little girl has all the faith she will ever need. And The Word says she is healed now....Its simply a matter of time before she is running and jumping. Keep learning little girl, and don't give up Not ever!

That's only a small part of the story Blain. The real story starts in how her mom handles the fact that she DIDNT GET HEALED.
That's the important lesson here, and that is why this discussion is taking place.

I never said she blamed God,I merely spoke on that this question is one of doubt,and that it would have more fruitful to have made a prayer request for her child,even now,what I'm speaking on is the paradox of posing the question in the first place,because if(that big word)you trust in God,then why do you pose a question doubting him,that's all,that's why I said it makes no sense.

We realize that it's a learning curve here for momma and daughter but someone who should know better telling them lies to stop them? The lie being 'she doesn't have enough faith'. OF course she has enough faith!

That sounds like a call to prayer all right. When I saw the OP I started praying. I see this little girl getting healed, by her own faith. She is learning something about healing in this. She is learning a lot about her God in this too. She is about to learn how much God really loves her.
I would offer this...she already knows how much God loves her....

Special needs people have a special place in God's heart and they know of his nature and see more in the spiritual realm than we ever will....

One of our leaders and his wife have a special need daughter, who cannot speak and is confined to a body chair...she is 23 and is only about 4.5 feet long...she can hear and she knows people she is used to seeing all the time....

I can tell when she is seeing the angles and she sings with them. She makes the most beautiful sounds during worship....

During one service the Spirit was just brooding over the people and nobody was doing anything, just a holy Hush....She was not even making in sounds and you could not hear moving in her chair, you usually can.....

I looked up and her Mom motioned for me to come over and I did and our blessed girl looked at me and then started cooing and making the most beautiful melody....she went on for about 3 minutes....and then stopped...the whole place was in tears, including this ruff tough preacher....I noticed a few guests in the back were very emotional about the whole deal.

After service I met up with them and they said that our blessed girl was being used by the Holy Spirit and they said she was telling us our own special needs daughter was going to be healed....my leadership folks told me that night they also felt the same thing, but never mentioned it or approached the couple, because they did not want to weird anyone out...the joy my report brought them was

We heard back from that couple several months later and 2 days after that Sunday service their daughter was made whole.....and cleared by all her doctors....

Those who doubt should take a breath and know he is God and he will work through whoever and whomever is obedient, even a 23 year old special needs young woman, who has never spoken a natural word in her life...


Let him that have ears....hear......what the Spirit is saying to the fellowship....

JAMES;5 ; 13; Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14; Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church,and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of Lord. 15; And the prayer of faith shall save the sick.,and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I don't know what to say

sorry

I don't see a paradox here at all

the question was not a real question. she was making the point that PennEd and others have tried to point out

anyways...time to move on I think

I never had a teacher to teach me about faith or about healing basically it's just been God and I on a journey with him as my teacher and forgive if I am wrong but from what I have come to understand about this subject is this. It is true that sometimes even if we have the faith for it he does not heal us of what ails us but that doesn't mean we were lacking in faith it simply means he has a plan for it. Also there is the question of how you view the (amount) of faith you have, i mean look at this Mark 9:23-25

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe,[a] all things are possible to him who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”
even though this father had unbelief that didn't stop Jesus did it? also consider how you use your faith as well, you can have faith the answer will be yes but there is an issue I have found with this method, whenever I try it that way it always seems like the amount of faith I myself have is the deciding factor of it happening and so i am always found lacking because it's like I don't have a sufficient amount of faith like it's a currency to prayer and I am short on change.

But when instead I simply rely on my faith in him and what he can do and not how much faith I myself have it feels natural and flows that is why I had the faith to try to walk on water even though I couldn't do it. Like this little girl I believed in what he can do and simply acted and even though I couldn't actually walk on water that time I think the fact I believed in him enough to try speaks volume

speculation No scripture
Very telling!

When I post a page of scriptures in context, Denalii tells me to put him on ignore, and brushes off how his heresy has totally pulled everything out of context, amounting to little more than a New Age lie from the pit of hell!

And never posts a single single Word from the Bible, which it seems like he has never read!

When sevenseas paraphrases the Bible, and what she says is true, he tells her she is speculating??

Not just a heretic, but a hypocrite, too!

well that's it then

but oh we must not judge and everyone has their own opinion and everyone is a heretic in someone else's eyes and some believe this and some believe that

sounds like a wall easily penetrated by the enemy with ignorant 'believers' keeping the doorway

if anyone thinks I am being tough, go read the OT and what God said to His CHOSEN people

wake up. it's not a buffet

if we do not have the Bible as our reference and the book-ends to what we say we believe, we have nothing we can count on

more and more it sounds like the book of Judges where everyone just does what is right in their own eyes

manifested sons, eh?

what I know of that teaching, I would say simply, 'run, don't walk, away'

not to someone who is involved however, cause having had conversations in the past, I pretty much realize the mindset

it's not biblical and if a CHILD cannot receive the instant healing, a CHILD with all the faith in the world encased in innocence and no ulterior motives, then how are YOU or any other manifested whatever gonna do it?

geez this stuff just makes me plain angry and it's ok to be angry for the right reason Mark 3:5
Teaching? It's scripture.

Rom 8:18  For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 


Rom 8:19  For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.
